The Emerging Professionals Committee engages associate members right out of school through architects within their first ten years of licensure through programs and activities that encourage membership, participation, and leadership in the Chapter. The Committee will provide a forum in which the specific needs of emering professionals can be discussed and addressed. The Committee will also seek young professionals in architectural firms, and distribute information to them to increase the basic understanding of AIA Columbus.
